U.S. Under-16 Girl’s National Team head coach Kazbek Tambi will take an 18-player roster to Holland for a three-match tour running from April 8-16, 2006.

It will be the first matches abroad for the U-16s this year. They have held two domestic training camps at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., thus far.

The USA will play two teams from the Dutch Women’s Premier League as well as Holland’s U-19 Women’s National Team. The first game is on April 11, against Seastum, followed by a match on April 13, vs. the Dutch U-19s before the tour finishes with a game against RVVH on April 15.

The U-16s are coming off two matches against the German U-17s at The Home Depot Center, a 3-0 loss and a dramatic, 2-1 victory on an 88th minute game-winner.
